I think he was referring to National planned corridors... which was linked up above in #16
What route do you take out of Refugio when heading to the DFW area?..... Up towards Austin or towards Houston and I-45? You are kinda stuck in a middle ground it looks like.
I go through there when I to to and from Houston. It has lots of NAFTA truck traffic at all hours of the day. I don't go through Refugio when I'm going to DFW. I take I-37 to San Antonio, then I connect to I-35. During rush hour, I take loop 410, at night I'll go all the way to to the end of I-37. Once I turn onto I-35, the traffic is much heavier.
If you look at the proposed corridor coming north from the Rio Grande Valley, it interects I-37 north of Alice. It will be able to take traffic from the Rio Grande Valley all the way to DFW without having to go through San, Antonio, Austin, Temple, and Waco. It will reduce the need for more capacity in those cities.
